Herewith is FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}109 shewing the modifications to the centre casing to enable it to be die cast. As the first axle will certainly have a sand cast casing the one shewn on the original scheme should be the one detailed, and no further work need be done on FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}109 until the question of die casting comes up.
